Ok, that's a bit less of a what-the. I tend to read all the stuff that says you're supposed to gain 10-15kg max when you're pregnant and raise an eyebrow at that too, and there are even boxes on the paperwork to tick if you gain more than 4kg a month, which I seem to do quite efficiently in the first trimester. I know I'm on the more extreme end of the pregnancy weight gain spectrum, I gained 27kg with my first and that's NOT water retention, its mostly fat. I would have had a BMI of about 17 as a start point though ...

I haven't stopped eating like a horse since ... geez, almost two years now, with 22kg gained and lost now. I don't know how anyone could resist the urge to just eat anything that gets near them when they're pregnant, you people must have wills of iron

I know my partner certainly lacks will power, I eat more (the house gets full of snacks) and he eats more but he has a slower metabolism than me (as well as having been on some of those unhelpful drugs that mess with your weight) and he eats less than me normally and has gained a good 15-20kg since we met. His endocrinologist basically told him if he went over 80kg, BMI or no BMI, they'd tag him as too overweight to continue with his treatment and to go off and lose 15kg. Funny how some people get scolded over their weight gain and some don't ...
